This is assuming that Democrats can get enough states to ban Trump from running to prevent him from winning. Otherwise it’s just going to rile up the conservatives across the country and put the swing states in danger.
well it's too soon to tell, in actuality. but dems doing a legalistic cockblock isn't inherently a wrong move unless they fail to do it sufficiently to secure a victory, is it? i'm not going to do the math rn but if enough electoral votes are on the table that they could secure as such, i'd be willing to declare this an astute political move.
greatest liability being the US supreme court overruling them i imagine
if this is legal in one state it's legal in every state. the argument is based on constitutional law. not sure if (assuming the ruling survives the openly corrupt SCotUS) this would automatically disqualify him everywhere or if there would have to be separate legal proceedings in each state that wants to disqualify him, but those proceedings are already happening in several states and upholding this ruling would essentially mean Trump has to try to win without several swing states. PA and WI have dem majorities on their state supreme courts and there's already a 14th amendment challenge over trump's candidacy in PA.
